By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

It's always too early to quit.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
