Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Never complain and never explain.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
I can, therefore I am.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
In suggesting gifts: Money is appropriate, and one size fits all.
