The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Only the educated are free.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
