Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
I can, therefore I am.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
