The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I can, therefore I am.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
It's always too early to quit.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
As a kid I quite fancied the romantic, Bohemian idea of being an artist. I expect I thought I could escape from the difficulties of maths and spelling. Maybe I thought I would avoid the judgement of the establishment.
