After a storm comes a calm.
Never complain and never explain.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
That is a secondary teacher conception - the writer as an observer.
