After a storm comes a calm.
You never know what motivates you.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Who seeks shall find.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Know or listen to those who know.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
In high school, we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.
