Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
It's always too early to quit.
Know or listen to those who know.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
A poem conveys not a message so much as the provenance of a message, an advent of sense.
No art form points like poetry to this originality of language as to its essential and abiding concern.
