The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
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.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
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.
