Wherever you are - be all there.
Only the educated are free.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
It's always too early to quit.
Never complain and never explain.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
