The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Know or listen to those who know.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
I was an organizer in the Food, Agricultural and Tobacco Workers Union down in North Carolina.
What motivated me? My mother. My mother was an immigrant woman, a peasant woman, struggled all her life, worked in the garment center.
