What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
Always desire to learn something useful.
I think that was a moment of cool panic there.
