Who seeks shall find.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
You never know what motivates you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
It's always too early to quit.
Well done is better than well said.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
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.
