After you've work hard to get what you want, take the time to enjoy it.
Make allowances for your friends' imperfections as readily as you do for your own.
Swallowing angry words before you say them is better than having to eat them afterwards.
Luck marches with those who give their very best.
Lie on your back and look at the stars.
Don't flaunt your success, but don't apologize for it either.
