Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Leap, and the net will appear.
You never know what motivates you.
I can, therefore I am.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
All you'd have to do is get a sad look, and he'd try to do something for you.
