Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It's always too early to quit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Words of wisdom are spoken by children at least as often as scientists.
