Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Only the educated are free.
All I knew about Ethiopia was from a few records that I like, as well as what I read about the famine. But you get there and it's another world. It's filled with art and music and poetry and intellectuals and writers - all kinds of people.
