The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
I can, therefore I am.
Well done is better than well said.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Never complain and never explain.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
I used to joke that if acting didn't work out, poetry was my commonsense fallback.
