Leap, and the net will appear.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
You never know what motivates you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
