If you've got a talent, protect it.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
After a storm comes a calm.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
That something extra, I believe, is a certain humanity that comes from upbeat and positive human interest letters and success stories. Advertisers like to be associated with those qualities.
