Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Know or listen to those who know.
I can, therefore I am.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
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.
