The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you think you can do it, you can.

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

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
