If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Only the educated are free.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Know or listen to those who know.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
I'm not an academic, but I've always loved poetry since I've been small.
I was always in trouble from an early age. I had a fraught relationship with my parents, who were very traditional. Doing plays at school was a joyous release.
