Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
It's always too early to quit.
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.
