If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
