Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
You never know what motivates you.
Well done is better than well said.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Leap, and the net will appear.
As though there were a tie And obligation to posterity. We get them, bear them, breed, and nurse: What has posterity done for us. That we, lest they their rights should lose, Should trust our necks to gripe of noose?
