Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
