If you're going through hell, keep going.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
I can, therefore I am.
Never complain and never explain.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Poetry criticism at its worst today is mean in spirit and spiteful in intent, as if determined to inflict the wound that will spur the artist to new heights if it does not cripple him or her.
