Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Who seeks shall find.
Well done is better than well said.
It's always too early to quit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
I think I learned about the relationship between books and life from Margaret Mitchell.
