Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Who seeks shall find.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you think you can do it, you can.
