By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Leap, and the net will appear.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Only the educated are free.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
