Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

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

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
