Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Always desire to learn something useful.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

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