Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
