The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Only the educated are free.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
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.
