What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Well done is better than well said.
Only the educated are free.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
