The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Only the educated are free.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The romantic idea is that everybody around a writer must suffer for his talent. I think a writer is a citizen of humanity, part of his nation, part of his family. He may have to make some compromises.
