Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Only the educated are free.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Well done is better than well said.
Who seeks shall find.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I can, therefore I am.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
