It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
I wrote some bad poetry that I published in North African journals, but even as I withdrew into this reading, I also led the life of a kind of young hooligan.
