Know or listen to those who know.
You never know what motivates you.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Who seeks shall find.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
It's always too early to quit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
