You never know what motivates you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you think you can do it, you can.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Who seeks shall find.
