Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Never complain and never explain.
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.
