Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you think you can do it, you can.
It's always too early to quit.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
I shall give you hunger, and pain, and sleepless nights. Also beauty, and satisfactions known to few, and glimpses of the heavenly life. None of these you shall have continually, and of their coming and going you shall not be foretold.
