The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you think you can do it, you can.
