The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
I can, therefore I am.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Only the educated are free.
Never complain and never explain.
