Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
I can, therefore I am.
Never complain and never explain.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Who seeks shall find.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
