If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Although some people think I am a romantic novelist I have always thought of myself as a rather gritty radical historian.
