If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
It's always too early to quit.
Only the educated are free.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Wherever you are - be all there.
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.
