You never know what motivates you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
I don't know a better preparation for life than a love of poetry and a good digestion.
