Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Well done is better than well said.

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

Always desire to learn something useful.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
