Know or listen to those who know.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Women didn't want to be on the stage with other women because they didn't want their bodies to be compared. They didn't want another female act opening for them because of this weird competitive and tokenistic attitude.
