Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
I can, therefore I am.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Who seeks shall find.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
