Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
After a storm comes a calm.
I can, therefore I am.
Well done is better than well said.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Because at bottom, I'm interested in fear, and in courage and cowardice and these are easier to get at through fiction, where you can enter people's heads.
