Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Never complain and never explain.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Good composition is like a suspension bridge - each line adds strength and takes none away.
