Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
You never know what motivates you.
Only the educated are free.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Well done is better than well said.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
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.
