I can, therefore I am.
If you think you can do it, you can.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
You never know what motivates you.
Never complain and never explain.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
My mom would have liked it that I patterned myself more after Jimmy Reed.
