By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
It's always too early to quit.
You never know what motivates you.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Poetry criticism at its worst today is mean in spirit and spiteful in intent, as if determined to inflict the wound that will spur the artist to new heights if it does not cripple him or her.
