What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
You never know what motivates you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To cement a new friendship, especially between foreigners or persons of a different social world, a spark with which both were secretly charged must fly from person to person, and cut across the accidents of place and time.
