The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
You never know what motivates you.
Who seeks shall find.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
It's always too early to quit.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Well done is better than well said.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
I wrote some bad poetry that I published in North African journals, but even as I withdrew into this reading, I also led the life of a kind of young hooligan.
