Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
You never know what motivates you.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Leap, and the net will appear.
After a storm comes a calm.
Although some people think I am a romantic novelist I have always thought of myself as a rather gritty radical historian.
