I can, therefore I am.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Well done is better than well said.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Who seeks shall find.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
