If you think you can do it, you can.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
After a storm comes a calm.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
It's always too early to quit.
Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
I found that it wasn't so oddball to like music and poetry and visual arts, they're kindred spirits.
