Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
