Only the educated are free.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
