The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
It's always too early to quit.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
Well done is better than well said.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Always desire to learn something useful.
