Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Only the educated are free.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
Know or listen to those who know.
The whole westward expansion myth is seen as romantic. But it's a joke, a blot on American history.
