The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Only the educated are free.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
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.
