Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
After a storm comes a calm.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you think you can do it, you can.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Well done is better than well said.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Although some people think I am a romantic novelist I have always thought of myself as a rather gritty radical historian.
