Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Never complain and never explain.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
