Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
After a storm comes a calm.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
