If you think you can do it, you can.
I can, therefore I am.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Well done is better than well said.
Always desire to learn something useful.
