If you think you can do it, you can.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
After a storm comes a calm.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Well done is better than well said.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.
