If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
It's always too early to quit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
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.
