Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
When I was a child it was very clear what I was allowed to see and what I was not allowed to see and there was no discussion or option or negotiation. Whatever my mom said, that's what went down.
