Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
After a storm comes a calm.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
