Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Only the educated are free.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Who seeks shall find.
Never complain and never explain.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
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.
