Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
You never know what motivates you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I've been a teacher at the college level, in composition mostly, and I've been an editor on magazines.
