The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Each has its lesson for our dreams in sooth, come they in shape of demons, gods, or elves, are allegories with deep hearts of truth that tell us solemn secrets of ourselves.
