Always desire to learn something useful.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Know or listen to those who know.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Well done is better than well said.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
