Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
I wrote some bad poetry that I published in North African journals, but even as I withdrew into this reading, I also led the life of a kind of young hooligan.
