Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Never complain and never explain.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
It's always too early to quit.
Only the educated are free.
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.
