Know or listen to those who know.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
I can, therefore I am.
Only the educated are free.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I used to joke that if acting didn't work out, poetry was my commonsense fallback.
