Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
I can, therefore I am.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
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.
