Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Patriotism has served, at different times, as widely different ends as a razor, which ought to be used in keeping your face clean and yet may be used to cut your own throat or that of an innocent person.
