Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
I can, therefore I am.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
You never know what motivates you.
Never complain and never explain.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
