After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Never complain and never explain.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The only difference is that religion is much better organised and has been around much longer, but it's the same story with different characters and different costumes.
