The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Only the educated are free.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
It's always too early to quit.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Besides the actual reading in class of many poems, I would suggest you do two things: first, while teaching everything you can and keeping free of it, teach that poetry is a mode of discourse that differs from logical exposition.
