The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
After a storm comes a calm.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Well done is better than well said.
Our citizens and those who have gone before us charted the broad outlines of where we need to go, and they would envy our opportunity to translate those dreams into action. And I believe they will judge us very harshly should we fail to act.
