Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Never complain and never explain.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Leap, and the net will appear.
After a storm comes a calm.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Brilliantly lit from stem to stern, she looked like a sagging birthday cake.
Someone once told me the one thread that runs through them all is a premium on personal courage - not intellectual courage, but just plain physical courage.
