Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
As the daughter of a schoolteacher, I feel very strongly that the most important thing in school takes place right there in that classroom, and the interaction between the teacher and the child.
