To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
It's always too early to quit.
Only the educated are free.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you think you can do it, you can.
I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it's understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don't have a clue what they're on about.
