Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
It's always too early to quit.
After a storm comes a calm.
I have two ideas for novels at the moment, neither of them all that conventional, but I'm not ready to choose between them yet, let alone settle down to the process of writing.
