Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Never complain and never explain.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
I've been a teacher at the college level, in composition mostly, and I've been an editor on magazines.
