Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

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

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Never complain and never explain.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
