If you're going through hell, keep going.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Well done is better than well said.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Though I had success in my research both when I was mad and when I was not, eventually I felt that my work would be better respected if I thought and acted like a 'normal' person.
