PROMISE KEEPERS lance: always be a first rate version of yourself instead of a second rate version of somebody else inside of my empty bottle i was constructing a lighthouse while the others were making ships i've learned in life you can get places by having the right enemies curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat i say only that the cat died nobly education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or self confidence the wicked are always surprised to find that the good can be clever a thankful person is thankful under all circumstances a complaining soul complains even in paradise
