If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
I can, therefore I am.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it's understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don't have a clue what they're on about.
