Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Only the educated are free.
Never complain and never explain.
Who seeks shall find.
It's always too early to quit.
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak and at last some crisis shows what we have become.
