It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
America somehow thinks that leadership relates to governance, and it certainly does. But society is much bigger than governance, and some of the truly great leadership of our society is outside the governance arena.
