Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Never complain and never explain.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Only the educated are free.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
At times I experience hardship in trying to find the proper point of balance between traditional things and my own personality.
