Only the educated are free.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
You never know what motivates you.
If you think you can do it, you can.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
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.
