Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Only the educated are free.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
But communication is two-sided - vital and profound communication makes demands also on those who are to receive it... demands in the sense of concentration, of genuine effort to receive what is being communicated.
