Life is my college. May I graduate well, and earn some honors!
A little kingdom I possess, Where thoughts and feelings dwell; And very hard the task I find Of governing it well.
It takes two flints to make a fire.
Talent isn't genius and no amount of energy can make it so. I want to be great, or nothing. I won't be a commonplace dauber, so I don't intend to try any more.
It takes very little fire to make a great deal of smoke nowadays, and notoriety is not real glory.
