If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
My assignment is what every writer's assignment is: tell the truth of his own time.
