Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
You never know what motivates you.
Only the educated are free.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
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.
