After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Wherever you are - be all there.
