It's always too early to quit.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Know or listen to those who know.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
You never know what motivates you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
