Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Well done is better than well said.
After a storm comes a calm.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
It's always too early to quit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
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.
