If you're going through hell, keep going.
You never know what motivates you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak and at last some crisis shows what we have become.
