Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Who seeks shall find.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

John Ford was so funny that I couldn't wait to go to work in the morning.
