Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Know or listen to those who know.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
You never know what motivates you.
Never complain and never explain.
Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
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.
