The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Who seeks shall find.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
It's always too early to quit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Never complain and never explain.
Old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
