If you're going through hell, keep going.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
It's always too early to quit.
Never complain and never explain.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Tell me not of joy: there's none Now my little sparrow's gone He, just as you, Would toy and woo, He would chirp and flatter me, He would hang the wing awhile, Till at length he saw me smile, Lord! how sullen he would be!
