Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
I can, therefore I am.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Who seeks shall find.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
I once saw a picture in the paper of John Hegley with 'poet' written on his knuckles, and I thought that was pretty cool, so I was quite up front about it.
