Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

It's always too early to quit.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
