Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Never complain and never explain.

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

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
