By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Who seeks shall find.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
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.
