I can, therefore I am.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
You never know what motivates you.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Know or listen to those who know.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
After a storm comes a calm.
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.
