By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
You never know what motivates you.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Never complain and never explain.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Who seeks shall find.
I've been a teacher at the college level, in composition mostly, and I've been an editor on magazines.
