If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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

Always desire to learn something useful.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

I can, therefore I am.
