Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
You never know what motivates you.
Well done is better than well said.
Know or listen to those who know.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Leap, and the net will appear.
After a storm comes a calm.
As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats I am only surprised that all do not.
