The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Well done is better than well said.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
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.
