The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Know or listen to those who know.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
After a storm comes a calm.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
My mom is a very warm, typical sort of Jewish-mother type. And my dad has a somewhat, um, different personality.
