The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
It's always too early to quit.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Maybe that's the whole teen oeuvre, you know covering people in disgusting bodily fluids and whatnot.
