Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Leap, and the net will appear.
I can, therefore I am.
And the only thing to do with a sin is to confess, do penance and then, after some kind of decent interval, ask for forgiveness.
I would say readers can trust my work more than anyone else's.
