At times the world may seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe that there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. and what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey.

Sometimes when someone tells a ridiculous lie, it is best to ignore it entirely.

A good thing to do when one is sitting, eating, and resting is to have a conversation.

Temper tantrums, however fun they may be to throw, rarely solve whatever problem is causing them.

It is difficult, when faced with a situation you cannot control, to admit you can do nothing.

Do the scary thing first, and get scared later.

I'm sure you have heard it said that appearance does not matter so much, and that it is what's on the inside that counts. This is, of course, utter nonsense, because if it were true then people who were good on this inside would would never have to comb their hair or take a bath, and the whole world would smell even worse than it already does.
