Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.

Only the educated are free.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The arts are an even better barometer of what is happening in our world than the stock market or the debates in congress.
