The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Never complain and never explain.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Know or listen to those who know.
I can, therefore I am.
I've been a teacher at the college level, in composition mostly, and I've been an editor on magazines.
