The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Never complain and never explain.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
The arts are an even better barometer of what is happening in our world than the stock market or the debates in congress.
