Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Leap, and the net will appear.

Know or listen to those who know.
