If you think you can do it, you can.
It's always too early to quit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Only the educated are free.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
However, if a poem can be reduced to a prose sentence, there can't be much to it.
Well, if this is poetry, I'm certainly never going to write any myself.
