To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
It's always too early to quit.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Only the educated are free.
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.
