Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.
I never expected any sort of success with 'Mockingbird'... I sort of hoped someone would like it enough to give me encouragement.
