Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
It's always too early to quit.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Living with the immediacy of death helps you sort out your priorities in life. It helps you to live a less trivial life.
