Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Know or listen to those who know.
It's always too early to quit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
