What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Who seeks shall find.
When I was younger I probably didn't understand something basic about tact, but I think it kept faint-hearted people at arm's distance and that's not such a bad thing, because life is short and I know the kind of people I want to work with.
