Leap, and the net will appear.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
After a storm comes a calm.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
I'm someone who's done the opposite of whatever the received wisdom is, to keep your career going into your 50s.
