Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Know or listen to those who know.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Only the educated are free.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Death doesn't frighten me now I can think peacefully of ending a long life.
Every age has its happiness and troubles.
Always keep your smile. That's how I explain my long life.
