Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
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.
