Well done is better than well said.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
It's always too early to quit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Moby Dick - that book is so amazing. I just realized that it starts with two characters meeting in bed that's how my book begins, too, but I hadn't noticed the parallel before, two characters forced to share a bed, reluctantly.
