The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
You never know what motivates you.
Only the educated are free.
Well done is better than well said.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
It's always too early to quit.
Creative risk taking is essential to success in any goal where the stakes are high. Thoughtless risks are destructive, of course, but perhaps even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction and promotes failure to seize opportunity.
