If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
After a storm comes a calm.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
It's both funny and sad which seem to me to be the two basic ingredients of good comedy.
We try to... we are, I suppose to a certain extent all affected and erm, that is both funny and sad I think.
