Either you run the day or the day runs you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Never complain and never explain.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you think you can do it, you can.
A man desires praise that he may be reassured, that he may be quit of his doubting of himself he is indifferent to applause when he is confident of success.
