If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Wherever you are - be all there.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
When a child, my dreams rode on your wishes, I was your son, high on your horse, My mind a top whipped by the lashes Of your rhetoric, windy of course.
Great poetry is always written by somebody straining to go beyond what he can do.
