The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
It's always too early to quit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Courage: Great Russian word, fit for the songs of our children's children, pure on their tongues, and free.
It was a time when only the dead smiled, happy in their peace.
