Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

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

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

It's always too early to quit.
