Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

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

It's always too early to quit.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
