Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
I always loved the idea of learning martial arts, but it wasn't until I was in my 20s that I really started doing it and taking up karate.
