To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Know or listen to those who know.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I think if you're a competent actor with a good imagination, and if it's on the page, it makes your job a lot easier.
