Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I can, therefore I am.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Always desire to learn something useful.
