Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Only the educated are free.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
After a storm comes a calm.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
It's always too early to quit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Society's dark hull drifts further and further away. It is this place - the place of our separation, our distinction - that much of his poetry occupies.
