Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Know or listen to those who know.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
Well done is better than well said.

My dreams are of water. And my nightmares.
