Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

If you think you can do it, you can.

Know or listen to those who know.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

You never know what motivates you.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

If you've got a talent, protect it.
