To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Only the educated are free.
Know or listen to those who know.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
You never know what motivates you.
Moby Dick - that book is so amazing. I just realized that it starts with two characters meeting in bed that's how my book begins, too, but I hadn't noticed the parallel before, two characters forced to share a bed, reluctantly.
