To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
It's always too early to quit.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
I can, therefore I am.
Always desire to learn something useful.
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.
