Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Only the educated are free.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Although some people think I am a romantic novelist I have always thought of myself as a rather gritty radical historian.
