Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Wherever you are - be all there.
It's always too early to quit.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
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.
