Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Never complain and never explain.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you can find the line between sympathetic and creepy, you have reached a very funny area.
