The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Who seeks shall find.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.
