Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Know or listen to those who know.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Finish last in your league and they call you idiot. Finish last in medical school and they call you doctor.
You know what they call the fellow who finishes last in his medical school graduating class? They call him 'Doctor.'
