Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Know or listen to those who know.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
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.
