Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
Only the educated are free.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
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.
