Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Never complain and never explain.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
You never know what motivates you.
We are ultimately alone in that we are ultimately responsible for ourselves.
