Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
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.
