To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
I can, therefore I am.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Well done is better than well said.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
I think one of the downsides of the sort of obsession with romantic love and personal fulfillment is that the plain fact of the matter is that those feelings don't last for ever and so they better be replaced and reinforced by things that do.
