What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
It's always too early to quit.
I can, therefore I am.
Well done is better than well said.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
A poem can have an impact, but you can't expect an audience to understand all the nuances.
