Only the educated are free.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Well done is better than well said.
It's always too early to quit.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
After a storm comes a calm.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Who seeks shall find.
I really think more fledgling novelists - and many current and even established novelists - should get out into the real world and cover local politics, sports, culture, and crime and write it up on deadline.
