Leap, and the net will appear.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Well done is better than well said.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
