The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Know or listen to those who know.
Well done is better than well said.
You never know what motivates you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Leap, and the net will appear.
I think Bond the character is distinct: He's British, he has a certain code that he lives by, he's incorruptible... he's a classical hero, but he's also fallible. He has inner demons, inner conflicts, and he's a romantic.
