By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

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.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
