Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear ~ George Addair

Ambition over anxiety ~ Cece Lyra

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. ~ Calvin Coolidge

Writing is like driving with the headlights on at night. You can only see a little ways in front of you. But you can make the whole journey that way. ~ Anne Lamott
