The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After a storm comes a calm.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Actually, I always dreamed about getting a gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle in Olympic swimming. I always thought that would be the epic award in sports to get.
