If you think you can do it, you can.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Only the educated are free.
Who seeks shall find.
