Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Only the educated are free.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Never complain and never explain.
Leap, and the net will appear.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
My mom is a very warm, typical sort of Jewish-mother type. And my dad has a somewhat, um, different personality.
