Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
I can, therefore I am.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
We might not make what athletes in other sports make, but we have greater longevity and we do have certain freedoms to do things they can't do. Like stay home one week and play the next week.
