Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
After these three novels I gave up writing novels for a time I was dissatisfied with romantic doom, yet didn't see much way around it.
