The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
It's always too early to quit.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
You never know what motivates you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
