Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Leap, and the net will appear.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
I was fortunate enough to have my kids early, so being a mom always ended up being a better gig than these other parts that came along. So I always justified not really working a lot because I had a family.
