It's always too early to quit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
I've always gotten a positive reaction to doing African-American characters.
