The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
As for lawyers, it's more fun to play one than to be one.
