Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Only the educated are free.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Know or listen to those who know.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
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.
