Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
People wish to be poets more than they wish to write poetry, and that's a mistake. One should wish to celebrate more than one wishes to be celebrated.
Poetry is a matter of life, not just a matter of language.
