After a storm comes a calm.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
This is just what I have thought when I have seen slaves at work - they seem to go through the motions of labor without putting strength into them. They keep their powers in reserve for their own use at night, perhaps.
