Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
I wrote The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God in five hours, but I had it all planned out. It isn't poetry and it does not pretend to be, but it does what it sets out to do.
