The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
After a storm comes a calm.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you think you can do it, you can.
I really think more fledgling novelists - and many current and even established novelists - should get out into the real world and cover local politics, sports, culture, and crime and write it up on deadline.
