Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Always desire to learn something useful.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
