The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Patriotism has served, at different times, as widely different ends as a razor, which ought to be used in keeping your face clean and yet may be used to cut your own throat or that of an innocent person.
