By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Who seeks shall find.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
I don't know a better preparation for life than a love of poetry and a good digestion.
