Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Well done is better than well said.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
For example, I loved English and history at school. I would have loved to have done a degree in either. But my Mom said I didn't have time for university.
