Wherever you are - be all there.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Never complain and never explain.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I think it was T.S. Eliot who talked about good poetry being felt before it's understood. I believe that. There are some bands where I love their lyrics but I don't have a clue what they're on about.
