Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Never complain and never explain.
Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
