Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

Never complain and never explain.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
