Well done is better than well said.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It's always too early to quit.
Never complain and never explain.
After a storm comes a calm.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Leap, and the net will appear.
As I grew up, I was continually to suffer hardships in different realms of life - in my family, in my relationship to Japanese society and in my way of living at large in the latter half of the twentieth century.
