Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Who seeks shall find.
When I lived in New York, not only did I have safety locks on the door but I had the music going, keeping the city at a distance, trying to find creative time and peace and so forth.
