The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
