Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
You never know what motivates you.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Whatever the medium, there is the difficulty, challenge, fascination and often productive clumsiness of learning a new method: the wonderful puzzles and problems of translating with new materials.
