Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Well done is better than well said.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Who seeks shall find.
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.
