Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Who seeks shall find.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
I remember in high school trying to get home from water-polo practice in time so I could see Happy Days on television when it first came on, because I was so blown away by it. It was just such a cool thing.
