Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Only the educated are free.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
I can, therefore I am.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Although some people think I am a romantic novelist I have always thought of myself as a rather gritty radical historian.
