Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
Failure and its accompanying misery is for the artist his most vital source of creative energy.
