If you've got a talent, protect it.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
After a storm comes a calm.
I can, therefore I am.
I am not yet born O fill me with strength against those who would freeze my humanity.
