Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I did that for 40 years or more. I never had any writer's block. I got up in the morning, sat down at the typewriter - now, computer - lit up a cigarette.
