By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Never complain and never explain.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
After a storm comes a calm.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
