Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Know or listen to those who know.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
