Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
You never know what motivates you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
My deepest impulses are optimistic, an attitude that seems to me as spiritually necessary and proper as it is intellectually suspect.
