Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
After a storm comes a calm.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Who seeks shall find.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Only the educated are free.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
A poem can have an impact, but you can't expect an audience to understand all the nuances.
