The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Never complain and never explain.
Only the educated are free.
Always desire to learn something useful.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Well done is better than well said.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats I am only surprised that all do not.
