Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
You never know what motivates you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Never complain and never explain.
I think there's a danger of a being typecast as the all-American mom forever.
