Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

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

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

Always desire to learn something useful.
