Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The genre has moved into this commercial aspect of itself, and ignored this extraordinarily rich literature that's filed everywhere else except under travel.
I just don't see myself as a travel writer. I can't. I don't.
