Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
You never know what motivates you.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Well done is better than well said.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
I was fortunate enough to have my kids early, so being a mom always ended up being a better gig than these other parts that came along. So I always justified not really working a lot because I had a family.
