By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Well done is better than well said.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
But mostly, it's a book about my relationship with my father.
And partly, the worst thing you could do in my family was need something from someone. So physical strength represented an avenue of self-sufficiency to me.
