The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
After a storm comes a calm.
You never know what motivates you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Well done is better than well said.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Literature boils with the madcap careers of writers brought to the edge by the demands of living on their nerves, wringing out their memories and their nightmares to extract meaning, truth, beauty.
