What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
I can, therefore I am.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Well done is better than well said.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Who seeks shall find.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
