The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
You never know what motivates you.
As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats I am only surprised that all do not.
