Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Well done is better than well said.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Who seeks shall find.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true.
