Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Know or listen to those who know.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
I can, therefore I am.
It's always too early to quit.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I have two ideas for novels at the moment, neither of them all that conventional, but I'm not ready to choose between them yet, let alone settle down to the process of writing.
