Get away from the crowd when you can. Keep yourself to yourself, if only for a few hours daily.
My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
Treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster.
All movements go too far.
Inspiration does exist, but it must find you working.
A tactical retreat is not a bad response to a surprise assault, you know. First you survive. Then you choose your own ground. Then you counterattack.
The only difference between a rut and a grave... is in their dimensions.
