Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
You never know what motivates you.
I used to spend every morning in detention at my old school.
