If you think you can do it, you can.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Leap, and the net will appear.
It's always too early to quit.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I think I learned about the relationship between books and life from Margaret Mitchell.
