The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Who seeks shall find.
You never know what motivates you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Always desire to learn something useful.
As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats I am only surprised that all do not.
