Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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

Well done is better than well said.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
