After a storm comes a calm.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
It's always too early to quit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
A poem can have an impact, but you can't expect an audience to understand all the nuances.
