Well done is better than well said.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Only the educated are free.
Who seeks shall find.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Writing poetry makes you intensely conscious of how words sound, both aloud and inside the head of the reader. You learn the weight of words and how they sound to the ear.
