The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
When I was young, I did actually model and was much photographed by famous photographers. But I was always a bookworm.
