Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Who seeks shall find.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
After a storm comes a calm.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Diaspora starts about a thousand years from now. Most of human civilisation has moved inside computers essentially, a major branch of our descendants consists of conscious software.
