After a storm comes a calm.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Even when I begin with a situation that's basically funny or sad, I like to keep poking around in it. I like to get into the middle of a relationship, to explore the subtle places.
