Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.

It's always too early to quit.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you've got a talent, protect it.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
