To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I can, therefore I am.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
It's always too early to quit.
Who seeks shall find.
Writing poetry makes you intensely conscious of how words sound, both aloud and inside the head of the reader. You learn the weight of words and how they sound to the ear.
