Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Only the educated are free.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
It is so often true that whether a person carries with him an atmosphere of gloom and depression or one of confidence and courage depends on his individual outlook.
