If you've got a talent, protect it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
After a storm comes a calm.
Never complain and never explain.
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.
