After a storm comes a calm.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Well done is better than well said.
It's always too early to quit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats I am only surprised that all do not.
