The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you think you can do it, you can.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Never complain and never explain.
You never know what motivates you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
After a storm comes a calm.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I once saw a picture in the paper of John Hegley with 'poet' written on his knuckles, and I thought that was pretty cool, so I was quite up front about it.
