By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Who seeks shall find.
The odds are always against you no matter what your previous history is. You have to overcome the tendency to relax.
