Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The first book I wrote was The Bride Price which was a romantic book, but my husband burnt the book when he saw it. I was the typical African woman, I'd done this privately, I wanted him to look at it, approve it and he said he wouldn't read it.
