Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
A wedding is just like a funeral except that you get to smell your own flowers.
