Dreams get you started; discipline keeps you going.

Be brief on the logic and reason portion of your presentation. There are probably about a thousand facts about an automobile, but you don't need them all to make a decision. About a half dozen will do.

Don't set your goals too low. If you don't need much, you won't become much.

There's nothing you can do about the past. But, you can do a great deal about your future. You don't have to be the same person you were yesterday. You can make changes in your life -- absolutely startling changes in a fairly short time. You can make changes you can't even conceive of now, if you give yourself a chance.

A novel is never anything, but a philosophy put into images.

It's not the matter you cover so much as it is the manner in which you cover it.

Make sure what you do is a product of your own conclusion.
