Either you run the day or the day runs you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.
