By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
As human beings we do change, grow, adapt, perhaps even learn and become wiser.
