To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
It's always too early to quit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
You never know what motivates you.
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.
