Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
It's always too early to quit.
Never complain and never explain.
There is a peculiar burning odor in the room, like explosives. the kitchen fills with smoke and the hot, sweet, ashy smell of scorched cookies. The war has begun.
