Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Only the educated are free.
Always desire to learn something useful.
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.
