You never know what motivates you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
It's always too early to quit.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Well done is better than well said.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Your political reputation affects how likely allies are to trust you, and what kind of deals they'll offer at the negotiating table. There's also some emotional response in there, so factions do bear grudges. Just like the real thing.
