Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Any romantic feelings for a 12-year-old are like entering into a fantasy world.
