By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

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

Well done is better than well said.

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

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Never complain and never explain.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
