Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Well done is better than well said.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
