Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

It's always too early to quit.

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

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
