Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
You never know what motivates you.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Who seeks shall find.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
