Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
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.
