If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Who seeks shall find.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
