The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
As I got older, I really got into Tupac's poetry, his books and just learning about his life and what he was into.
