By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Who seeks shall find.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Know or listen to those who know.
I can, therefore I am.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
I think one of the downsides of the sort of obsession with romantic love and personal fulfillment is that the plain fact of the matter is that those feelings don't last for ever and so they better be replaced and reinforced by things that do.
