Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
There is no loneliness like that of a failed marriage.
It's true, you can never eat a pet you name. And anyway, it would be like a ventriloquist eating his dummy.
