Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you think you can do it, you can.
It's always too early to quit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Who seeks shall find.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Although some people think I am a romantic novelist I have always thought of myself as a rather gritty radical historian.
