The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Only the educated are free.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Who seeks shall find.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
I remember in high school trying to get home from water-polo practice in time so I could see Happy Days on television when it first came on, because I was so blown away by it. It was just such a cool thing.
