Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
You never know what motivates you.
After a storm comes a calm.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
I studied with a blind teacher from about 5 until I was 16, at two different schools. From the age of 12 until 16, I was in a boarding school-which, I believe, at that time was compulsory for blind children.
