Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
Well done is better than well said.
Know or listen to those who know.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Always desire to learn something useful.
I can, therefore I am.
Who seeks shall find.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
A man's ability to haggle is never a turn-on. The only thing less romantic than how much you paid is how much you saved. The last thing we want to hear is how you talked the jeweler down on our new earrings.
