Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
I used to do skits for my mom... and I was always entertaining as a kid.
