Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you think you can do it, you can.
After a storm comes a calm.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Who seeks shall find.
Christmas is, of course, the time to be home - in heart as well as body.
