Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
You never know what motivates you.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If God has made the world a perfect mechanism, He has at least conceded so much to our imperfect intellect that in order to predict little parts of it, we need not solve innumerable differential equations, but can use dice with fair success.
