Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I do believe that most men live lives of quiet desperation. For despair, optimism is the only practical solution. Hope is practical. Because eliminate that and it's pretty scary. Hope at least gives you the option of living.
