Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Only the educated are free.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Never complain and never explain.
You never know what motivates you.
