The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
After a storm comes a calm.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Who seeks shall find.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
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.
