Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Never complain and never explain.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Well done is better than well said.
Who seeks shall find.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
