Well done is better than well said.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Who seeks shall find.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The nice thing about being a writer is that you can make magic happen without learning tricks.
