It's always too early to quit.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Well done is better than well said.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
You don't go after poetry, you take what comes. Maybe the gods do it through me but I certainly do a hell of a lot of the work.
