Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
It's always too early to quit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
