Know or listen to those who know.
Wherever you are - be all there.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
It's always too early to quit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
I think this is what hooks one to gardening: it is the closest one can come to being present at creation.
Mistakes are the usual bridge between inexperience and wisdom.
