It's always too early to quit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Only the educated are free.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
After a storm comes a calm.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Leap, and the net will appear.
But mostly, it's a book about my relationship with my father.
And partly, the worst thing you could do in my family was need something from someone. So physical strength represented an avenue of self-sufficiency to me.
