After a storm comes a calm.
Wherever you are - be all there.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Never complain and never explain.
It's always too early to quit.
