Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
You never know what motivates you.
It's always too early to quit.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
If a weakly mortal is to do anything in the world besides eat the bread thereof, there must be a determined subordination of the whole nature to the one aim no trifling with time, which is passing, with strength which is only too limited.
