The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Who seeks shall find.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Know or listen to those who know.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
