Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Only the educated are free.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Always desire to learn something useful.
I've been a teacher at the college level, in composition mostly, and I've been an editor on magazines.
