Leap, and the net will appear.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
