Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

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

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Know or listen to those who know.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
