Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
After a storm comes a calm.
I'm vulnerable to criticism. Any artist is, because you work alone in your studio and, until recently, critics were the only way you'd get any feedback.
