What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
You never know what motivates you.
I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.
