Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
It's always too early to quit.
I can, therefore I am.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
You never know what motivates you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
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.
