The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
It's always too early to quit.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
I can, therefore I am.
Know or listen to those who know.
I have a book coming out in September, for example, where the plot concerns counterfeiting, and I had to do a lot of research on that. Or on any legal matters, for example, I have to do a lot of research online.
