Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
It's always too early to quit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
You often feel that your prayers scarcely reach the ceiling but, oh, get into this humble spirit by considering how good the Lord is, and how evil you all are, and then prayer will mount on wings of faith to heaven.
