Never complain and never explain.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
You never know what motivates you.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
So much of my poetry begins with something that I can describe in visual terms, so thinking about distance, thinking about how life begins and what might be watching us.
