Know or listen to those who know.
You never know what motivates you.
After a storm comes a calm.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Always desire to learn something useful.
It's always too early to quit.
Only the educated are free.
I can, therefore I am.
When I was about 13 or 14, I had an English teacher who made a deal with me that I could get out of doing all of the year's regular work if I would write a short story a week and on Friday read it to the class.
