If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
After a storm comes a calm.
