Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
You never know what motivates you.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
I don't know a better preparation for life than a love of poetry and a good digestion.
