Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
I can, therefore I am.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
