Never define yourself by the man who happens
To be in your life at any given moment.

from "It's Self-Reliance, Girl"

It is not enough
Not to mean to do something.
You must MEAN not to do it!

"Begin with the end in mind"

One life we get, and it, so short,
So fill it with action, as well as thought.

With skin of steel,
And a heart of stone,
What can you feel,
When you're all alone?

I'm not a dreamer, nor a fighter.
I'm just another hopeless writer...

Poetry is not the turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

To build a successful nation, raise a generation that values discipline, diligence, and purpose. It’s not youth alone—parents must instill values, and government must enable growth. Reject shortcuts. Nation-building is everyone’s responsibility.

Don’t assume someone’s future by their past, or someone’s character by their image.
Some people wear white but hide darkness. Some people carry scars but walk in the light.
What matters most is not who someone was—but who they chose to become.

"Music carries the heart of its creator it is never just sound, but deeply spiritual. A wrong foundation leads many astray, while a right one draws them to God. For every sound bears the spirit behind its source."
