Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Well done is better than well said.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
But look, you did not have to be well versed in politics to know that some stupid things were going on. It is the counsel's job to stop them, and instead the coverup was created.
