Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you think you can do it, you can.
You never know what motivates you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
The friendship of Shostakovich cast a brilliant light over my whole life and whose spiritual qualities captured my soul once and for all time.
