Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Well done is better than well said.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
You never know what motivates you.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats I am only surprised that all do not.
