You never know what motivates you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
My assignment is what every writer's assignment is: tell the truth of his own time.
