Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Well done is better than well said.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
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.
