The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
I always pet a dog with my left hand because if he bit me I'd still have my right hand to paint with.
