If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
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.
