Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Never complain and never explain.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Who seeks shall find.
Know or listen to those who know.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
