Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Poetry is an art, the easiest to dabble in, but the hardest to reach true excellence.
