If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Well done is better than well said.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I found that it wasn't so oddball to like music and poetry and visual arts, they're kindred spirits.
