If you think you can do it, you can.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Well done is better than well said.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
