Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.

You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.

If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.

There's a way to do it better - find it.

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
