The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
I think that people need to have the courage of their convictions and not be trying to fool people into thinking that they've changed overnight.
