If you're going through hell, keep going.
Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Know or listen to those who know.
My contribution I hope is to get people to eat full-flavored food. If I could come away with that alone, that would be a fantastic accomplishment. I'm also very proud of being a very American chef.
