Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Wherever you are - be all there.
After a storm comes a calm.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
