The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Never complain and never explain.
Leap, and the net will appear.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Well done is better than well said.

John Ford was so funny that I couldn't wait to go to work in the morning.
