Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
Know or listen to those who know.
Living with the immediacy of death helps you sort out your priorities in life. It helps you to live a less trivial life.
