If you think you can do it, you can.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
It's always too early to quit.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
You never know what motivates you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
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.
