The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
After a storm comes a calm.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
Sometimes, if you don't have kids yourself, it's assumed you won't understand or know how to play a mom, which is kind of silly if you think about it.
