Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Well done is better than well said.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
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.
