By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

After a storm comes a calm.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
