Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I can, therefore I am.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Who seeks shall find.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
After a storm comes a calm.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
It's always too early to quit.
The answer to old age is to keep one's mind busy and to go on with one's life as if it were interminable. I always admired Chekhov for building a new house when he was dying of tuberculosis.
