Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Only the educated are free.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
You never know what motivates you.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Well done is better than well said.
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.
