Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Only the educated are free.
You never know what motivates you.
It's always too early to quit.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you think you can do it, you can.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
In high school, we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.
