Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
It's always too early to quit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Moby Dick - that book is so amazing. I just realized that it starts with two characters meeting in bed that's how my book begins, too, but I hadn't noticed the parallel before, two characters forced to share a bed, reluctantly.
