Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Only the educated are free.
Well done is better than well said.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The problem with growing up in a cafe was the cafe never closed, my parents worked every day of the year from morning to night. So it was a big menagerie of kids, business and cooking!
