Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It's always too early to quit.
After a storm comes a calm.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
You never know what motivates you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Only the educated are free.
