As things are and as fundamentally they must always be poetry is not a career but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.
Try to be like the turtle - at ease in your own shell.
When you stretch the truth watch out for the snapback.
The man who rows the boat seldom has time to rock it.
Before deciding to retire stay home for a week and watch the daytime TV shows.
Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of...
Anybody can make a difference and be a voice for the voiceless.
I had to make my own living and my own opportunity! But I made it!...
