Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Know or listen to those who know.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
I don't ask for the meaning of the song of a bird or the rising of the sun on a misty morning. There they are, and they are beautiful.
