Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Who seeks shall find.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Townes van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that.
