If you're going through hell, keep going.
After a storm comes a calm.
Well done is better than well said.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
