The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Who seeks shall find.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Greatness, in the last analysis, is largely bravery - courage in escaping from old ideas and old standards and respectable ways of doing things.
