Know or listen to those who know.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
It's always too early to quit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Who seeks shall find.
I shall give you hunger, and pain, and sleepless nights. Also beauty, and satisfactions known to few, and glimpses of the heavenly life. None of these you shall have continually, and of their coming and going you shall not be foretold.
