It's always too early to quit.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
