If you're going through hell, keep going.
Only the educated are free.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Who seeks shall find.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Although some people think I am a romantic novelist I have always thought of myself as a rather gritty radical historian.
