Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Well done is better than well said.
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.
One of the nice things about science fiction is that it lets us carry out thought experiments.
Some ideas you have to chew on, then roll them around a lot, play with them before you can turn them into funky science fiction.
