Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Always desire to learn something useful.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
