If you're going through hell, keep going.
Well done is better than well said.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
I can, therefore I am.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
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.
