After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Never complain and never explain.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Only the educated are free.
As my dad said, you have an obligation to leave the world better than how you found it. And he also reminded us to be givers in this life, and not takers.
