The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I can, therefore I am.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Never complain and never explain.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
It requires more strength to be gentle, so it's the everyday encounters of life that I think we've prepared children for and prepared them to be good to other people and to consider other people.
