If you think you can do it, you can.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
You never know what motivates you.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Well done is better than well said.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
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.
