If you're going through hell, keep going.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Well done is better than well said.
