The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
I can, therefore I am.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Always desire to learn something useful.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Who seeks shall find.

Teenagers today are more free to be themselves and to accept themselves.
