After a storm comes a calm.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Who seeks shall find.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
I hate to play the I-live-in-the-country card, but it really takes all of the 'pack the kids into the car and run from here to there' out of the equation.
