After a storm comes a calm.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
It's always too early to quit.
I can, therefore I am.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
We may smile at these matters, but they are melancholy illustrations.
