The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Well done is better than well said.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Who seeks shall find.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Although some people think I am a romantic novelist I have always thought of myself as a rather gritty radical historian.
