Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
I used to joke that if acting didn't work out, poetry was my commonsense fallback.
