Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Well done is better than well said.
