Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
It's always too early to quit.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
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.
