Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
You never know what motivates you.
The sight of nature fascinates, the family tie has a sweet enchantment and patriotism gives the religious spirit a fiery devotion to the powers that it reveres.
