The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Only the educated are free.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
You never know what motivates you.
I take mentoring very seriously and I am on the board of an organization called Girls Write Now, where we match teen girls and writing mentors because it changes their lives.
