Well done is better than well said.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Who seeks shall find.
Never complain and never explain.
After a storm comes a calm.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Only the educated are free.
You never know what motivates you.
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.
