You never know what motivates you.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Leap, and the net will appear.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Love makes a subtle man out of a crude one, it gives eloquence to the mute, it gives courage the cowardly and makes the idle quick and sharp.
