Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Leap, and the net will appear.
You never know what motivates you.
It's always too early to quit.
Never complain and never explain.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
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.
