To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you think you can do it, you can.
I can, therefore I am.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Sometimes a noble failure serves the world as faithfully as a distinguished success.
For a poet to depict a poet in poetry is a hazardous experiment in regarding one's own trade a sense of humour and a little wholesome cynicism are not amiss.
