If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Never complain and never explain.
After a storm comes a calm.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you think you can do it, you can.
I love the wry motto of the Paleontological Society, meant both literally and figuratively, for hammers are the main tool of our trade: Frango ut patefaciam - I break in order to reveal.
