Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
