The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
I can, therefore I am.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Poetry asks people to have values, form opinions, care about some other part of experience besides making money and being successful on the job.
