Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Never complain and never explain.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

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

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
