You never know what motivates you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Who seeks shall find.
I can, therefore I am.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
One can't write for all readers. A poet cannot write for people who don't like poetry.
