Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
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.
