Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Well done is better than well said.
What we used to say was whoever had the bow tie got to lead the band. There was never any jealousy.
