Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
It's always too early to quit.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
All you'd have to do is get a sad look, and he'd try to do something for you.
