Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
I've always gotten a positive reaction to doing African-American characters.
