Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Only the educated are free.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
There's one more thing I want to say. It's a touchy subject. Black beauty. Black sensuality. We live in a culture where the beauty of black people isn't always as celebrated as other types. I'd like to help change that if I can!
