If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
After a storm comes a calm.
Never complain and never explain.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
