The dog that trots about finds a bone.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Wherever you are - be all there.
After a storm comes a calm.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
