Never despair if you have to start at the bottom; not even the sun rises from the top.

There are few certainties in life, one of which is: life is short.

Before you wear a crown of gold, life sometimes makes you wear a crown of thorns.

Pain that results in success is better than pleasure that results in failure.

If you want to be strong, love yourself; if you want to be powerful, love others; if you want to be invincible, love everyone.

Your life is God's gift to you; what you do with it is your gift to Him.
