Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Never complain and never explain.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Government is inherently incompetent, and no matter what task it is assigned, it will do it in the most expensive and inefficient way possible.
