Today's Quote

Each day in the Writing Center, we choose a quote to put up on the board for our students to see. This has been going on since the current boss was placed in his position, and it's a practice that I've quite enjoyed. It is thanks to this practice that I share with you the quote that I chose this morning for the board. I feel it is relevant to paper-writing, the blogosphere, and life's decision making in general.

Dear authors! suit your topics to your strength,
And ponder well your subject and its length;
Nor lift your load, before you're quite aware
What weight your shoulders will, or will not, bear

.
This quote is from Byron, found in Hints from Horace.
