#1: No man is complete without a fine hat to top his lid. Don't ever leave home without one. It helps keep off the rain, the sun, and all other worries.

#2: Silence is golden. It's quite surprising how much one can take in when just quietly observing the world around him.

#3: Are daily troubles keeping you awake at night? Well then, try counting your blessings instead of counting sheep.

#4: Going with the flow in life isn't always the right choice. A little bit of common sense goes a long way when travelling life's avenues.

#5: All that it takes for evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing.

#6: Never underestimate the power and the indomitable spirit of the individual. With hard work and a clear vision, there is literally nothing that can't be accomplished.

#7: A life devoid of struggle and hardship is not living at all. Embrace your hardships and struggles! They will temper and mold you into a person of high caliber should you survive the process.

#8: Life is like chess in that it is important to plan ahead rather than to react to all that comes our way. Do not wait for life to make the next move. Anticipate and be prepared. Decide which direction you want to go.

#9: In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

#10: Faith is the fuel for the soul's journey. Without belief in greater ideals, we are incomplete - the union of the spirit with the flesh is what raises us above beasts and inhumans.
