Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Perhaps, all writers walk such a line. In general - as we all do in our dreams - I believe I put something of myself into all the characters in my novels, male as well as female.
