Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you think you can do it, you can.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
After a storm comes a calm.
Have convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your beliefs as they stick to theirs. Work as hard as they do.
My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.
