Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
After a storm comes a calm.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
