Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Wherever you are - be all there.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
