Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
Well done is better than well said.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Poetry is innocent, not wise. It does not learn from experience, because each poetic experience is unique.
But with exquisite breathing you smile, with satisfaction of love, And I touch you again as you tick in the silence and settle in sleep.
