Either you run the day or the day runs you.
After a storm comes a calm.
It's always too early to quit.
You never know what motivates you.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Well done is better than well said.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
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.
