Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
It's always too early to quit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
After a storm comes a calm.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
