Either you run the day or the day runs you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Know or listen to those who know.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Never complain and never explain.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you think you can do it, you can.
