Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Never complain and never explain.
