Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
