By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

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

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

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