Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
It's always too early to quit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Literature is a state of culture, poetry is a state of grace, before and after culture.
