Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
Who seeks shall find.
Only the educated are free.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.
Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.
