Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
I try not to name too many labels - not because it's not cool, but because it starts getting political.
