Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
I can, therefore I am.
After a storm comes a calm.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Wherever you are - be all there.
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.
