Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Poetry is a political act because it involves telling the truth.
In the process of telling the truth about what you feel or what you see, each of us has to get in touch with himself or herself in a really deep, serious way.
