Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
You never know what motivates you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
