Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I've had moments where I realize my body isn't going to withstand many more seasons, but I am very satisfied with my career and I am trying not to look at retirement as a sad thing.
