If you've got a talent, protect it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Who seeks shall find.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
When I was a little kid I used to play with guys twice my age, so, I was the last one picked, so if I picked I knew that I had to get the ball to the scorer if I wanted to stay on the court, so that was pretty much my job.
