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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

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