Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you think you can do it, you can.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Only the educated are free.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
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.
