Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Only the educated are free.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
It always makes me sad when I think of how I saw Wagner wasting his vitality, not only by singing their parts to some of his artists, but acting out the smallest details, and of how few they were who were responsive to his wishes.
