By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

After a storm comes a calm.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
