The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
You never know what motivates you.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Know or listen to those who know.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Then trust me there's nothing like drinking, So pleasant on this side of the grave: It keeps the unhappy from thinking, And makes e'en the valiant more brave.
