To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Well done is better than well said.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Know or listen to those who know.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
For target shooting, that's okay. Get a license and go to the range. For defense of the home, that's why we have police departments.
