"I am always worried by the word encourage. Too often it means that with the best of intentions we praise what is third rate and omit to point out that Art requires talent … real talent and not mere literacy in any medium. I see no substitute for passion, internally generated, and hard work."
Martin Wylde Carter, Guyanese poet, 1927-1997.

"Blessed are those who can give without remembering and accept without forgetting." Elizabeth Bibesco

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." Mark Twain

"Freedom to be your best means nothing unless you're willing to do your best." Colin Powell
