Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Who seeks shall find.
Never complain and never explain.
You never know what motivates you.
After a storm comes a calm.
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.
