Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Mine are the deep-seated fears established when we are children, and they never quite go away: the fear of being helpless, the fear of being trapped, the fear of being out of control.
