Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
I can, therefore I am.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Even now I can't trust life. It did too many awful things to me as a kid.
