The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
