The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
