Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

After a storm comes a calm.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
