If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
After a storm comes a calm.
Even when I begin with a situation that's basically funny or sad, I like to keep poking around in it. I like to get into the middle of a relationship, to explore the subtle places.
