What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
It's always too early to quit.
Who seeks shall find.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
I think Bond the character is distinct: He's British, he has a certain code that he lives by, he's incorruptible... he's a classical hero, but he's also fallible. He has inner demons, inner conflicts, and he's a romantic.
