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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

Always desire to learn something useful.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

After a storm comes a calm.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
