The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
I can, therefore I am.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
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.
