You never know what motivates you.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
If you think you can do it, you can.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
It's always too early to quit.
