Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
You never know what motivates you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
Never complain and never explain.
