It's a great group of people here at Texas A&M, and everybody you run into is incredibly polite.
If you lend someone 20 dollars and never see that person again, it's probably worth it.
Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.
It's not the hours you put in your work that counts, it's the work you put in the hours.
When you feel neglected, think of the female salmon, who lays 3,000,000 eggs but no one remembers her on Mother's Day.
