It's always too early to quit.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
I've just finished reading a book about the brilliant Margaret Rutherford. She wasn't a beauty, but inside she was absolutely blazing and passionate about her work. She's one of those life-affirming characters.
