Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Who seeks shall find.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
