If you're going through hell, keep going.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Who seeks shall find.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
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.
