By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
After a storm comes a calm.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
We should face reality and our past mistakes in an honest, adult way. Boasting of glory does not make glory, and singing in the dark does not dispel fear.
