Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Literature is a state of culture, poetry is a state of grace, before and after culture.
