If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
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.
