Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After a storm comes a calm.
I can, therefore I am.
Inconsiderate, rude behavior drives me nuts. And I guess the inconsiderate rudeness of social ineptitude definitely fuels my work.
