The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Always desire to learn something useful.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
