Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
You never know what motivates you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
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.
