Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
