Either you run the day or the day runs you.
After a storm comes a calm.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
It's always too early to quit.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
