Who seeks shall find.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
I can, therefore I am.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Your political reputation affects how likely allies are to trust you, and what kind of deals they'll offer at the negotiating table. There's also some emotional response in there, so factions do bear grudges. Just like the real thing.
