Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
You never know what motivates you.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
There is a peculiar burning odor in the room, like explosives. the kitchen fills with smoke and the hot, sweet, ashy smell of scorched cookies. The war has begun.
