Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Well done is better than well said.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
