By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Who seeks shall find.

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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
