By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Who seeks shall find.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
When Honor's sun declines, and Wealth takes wings, Then Learning shines, the best of precious things.
