Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you think you can do it, you can.
You never know what motivates you.
Who seeks shall find.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Well done is better than well said.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
And the only thing to do with a sin is to confess, do penance and then, after some kind of decent interval, ask for forgiveness.
I would say readers can trust my work more than anyone else's.
