Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Never complain and never explain.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
I wrote The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God in five hours, but I had it all planned out. It isn't poetry and it does not pretend to be, but it does what it sets out to do.
