Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

It's always too early to quit.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
