Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Never complain and never explain.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Growing up in the '70s and '80s, science fiction and especially fantasy had such a stigma attached to them. I felt so punished and exiled for being devoted to these things.
