Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
I once saw a picture in the paper of John Hegley with 'poet' written on his knuckles, and I thought that was pretty cool, so I was quite up front about it.
