Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
It's always too early to quit.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Only the educated are free.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Writing poetry makes you intensely conscious of how words sound, both aloud and inside the head of the reader. You learn the weight of words and how they sound to the ear.
