The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
You never know what motivates you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Only the educated are free.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
Poetry is like making a joke. If you get one word wrong at the end of a joke, you've lost the whole thing.
