Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
It's always too early to quit.
Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Humor has historically been tied to the mores of the day. The Yellow Kid was predicated on what people thought was funny about the immigrant Irish. When you're different in a society, you're funny.
