Never complain and never explain.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
I reached a time in college when I didn't know what I wanted to do. At that time, women's careers were essentially nursing, secretarial and teaching. My mother advised me to get my teacher's certificate.
