It's always too early to quit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
After a storm comes a calm.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Know or listen to those who know.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Literature is a state of culture, poetry is a state of grace, before and after culture.
