Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Who seeks shall find.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
I stopped thinking about it after trying to figure out what are the lessons learned, and there are so many. After I had basically sorted that out, I figured it's time to really look at the future and not at the past.
