Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Never complain and never explain.

Always desire to learn something useful.
