Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

I hate ready-made suits, button-down collars, and sports shirts.
