The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
After a storm comes a calm.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
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.
