The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
You never know what motivates you.
