Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
I write in the morning, I walk in the afternoon and I read in the evening. It's a very easy, lovely life.
