If you're going through hell, keep going.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Who seeks shall find.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
I found that it wasn't so oddball to like music and poetry and visual arts, they're kindred spirits.
