Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
After a storm comes a calm.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
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.
