Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Only the educated are free.
Never complain and never explain.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Romantic music really stirs my soul. And, of course, I love Chinese music it makes me feel closer to home.
