The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
It's always too early to quit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Know or listen to those who know.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
I think intelligence is usually sexy until it becomes irritating. After that, you're stuck.
