Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Only the educated are free.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you think you can do it, you can.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Know or listen to those who know.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Well done is better than well said.
I'm not a huge fan of improv theater or improv sports or whatever, because it still just looks like a tool. It looks like a technique to me.
