Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
I do believe that most men live lives of quiet desperation. For despair, optimism is the only practical solution. Hope is practical. Because eliminate that and it's pretty scary. Hope at least gives you the option of living.
