Know or listen to those who know.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

Never complain and never explain.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
