Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

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

Never complain and never explain.

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

Know or listen to those who know.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
