Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Who seeks shall find.
Only the educated are free.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
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.
