Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
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.
