Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
