What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
Never complain and never explain.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I think there's something great and generic about goldfish. They're everybody's first pet.
