The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Who seeks shall find.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
