If you think you can do it, you can.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Well done is better than well said.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
It's always too early to quit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
You don't go after poetry, you take what comes. Maybe the gods do it through me but I certainly do a hell of a lot of the work.
