By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you think you can do it, you can.

It's always too early to quit.

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

Know or listen to those who know.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
