Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Know or listen to those who know.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Leap, and the net will appear.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
