The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
