The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
