The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Leap, and the net will appear.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Poetry is of so subtle a spirit, that in the pouring out of one language into another it will evaporate.
Books should to one of these fours ends conduce, for wisdom, piety, delight, or use.
