The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
