Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The arts are an even better barometer of what is happening in our world than the stock market or the debates in congress.
