Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
You never know what motivates you.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
People who think my books are autobiographical, which they're not, credit me with having a much better memory than I do. I do, however, have a powerful imagination.
