The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Well done is better than well said.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
My happiest memory of childhood was my first birthday in reform school. This teacher took an interest in me. In fact, he gave me the first birthday presents I ever got: a box of Cracker Jacks and a can of ABC shoe polish.
