The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
After a storm comes a calm.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Well done is better than well said.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
