To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
I can, therefore I am.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Well done is better than well said.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Although some people think I am a romantic novelist I have always thought of myself as a rather gritty radical historian.
