Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Who seeks shall find.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Know or listen to those who know.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Wherever you are - be all there.
