By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

It's always too early to quit.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Leap, and the net will appear.

Know or listen to those who know.
