If you've got a talent, protect it.
I can, therefore I am.
You never know what motivates you.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Always desire to learn something useful.
It's always too early to quit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
After a storm comes a calm.
One of the nice things about science fiction is that it lets us carry out thought experiments.
