The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
After a storm comes a calm.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Never complain and never explain.
It's always too early to quit.
