If you're going through hell, keep going.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Never complain and never explain.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.

The worst advice I ever received from my dad was to play by the book.
