Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Never complain and never explain.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Only the educated are free.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I think this is what hooks one to gardening: it is the closest one can come to being present at creation.
Mistakes are the usual bridge between inexperience and wisdom.
