By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Never complain and never explain.
