Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After a storm comes a calm.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Only the educated are free.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After you start learning all about the mechanics of piloting a riverboat, you stop seeing all the pretty sunsets and you start thinking about the weather.
