After a storm comes a calm.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Well done is better than well said.
Who seeks shall find.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
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.
