By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

It's always too early to quit.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
