The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Who seeks shall find.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
I would say the most help I got was from my dad. My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
