The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you're going through hell, keep going.

John Ford was so funny that I couldn't wait to go to work in the morning.
