By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
You never know what motivates you.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
It was a fantastic learning experience and OK, I got slammed because I wasn't Audrey Hepburn but you could have predicted that, really, if you'd opened your eyes wide enough.
