Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
You never know what motivates you.
