To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Who seeks shall find.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
That's the biggest part of doing comics: You have to create stuff that makes you want to get out of bed every morning and get to work.
