You never know what motivates you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Know or listen to those who know.
It's always too early to quit.
I found that it wasn't so oddball to like music and poetry and visual arts, they're kindred spirits.
