Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
I can, therefore I am.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
As though there were a tie And obligation to posterity. We get them, bear them, breed, and nurse: What has posterity done for us. That we, lest they their rights should lose, Should trust our necks to gripe of noose?
