After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
After all those days in the cotton fields, the dreams came true on a gold record on a piece of wood. It's in my den where I can look at it every day. I wear it out lookin' at it.
