Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
I can, therefore I am.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
