The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Well done is better than well said.
Never complain and never explain.
It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
My favorite toy growing up was Polly Pocket. But one gift that I wanted though never received for Christmas was a pair of trampoline moon shoes. You strap them to your feet and they have springs on them, and you can just jump around!
