Know or listen to those who know.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Never complain and never explain.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
I can, therefore I am.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
I used to joke that if acting didn't work out, poetry was my commonsense fallback.
