Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Poetry is a sort of homecoming.
