Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
I can, therefore I am.
Only the educated are free.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Well done is better than well said.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Leap, and the net will appear.
As I grew up, I was continually to suffer hardships in different realms of life - in my family, in my relationship to Japanese society and in my way of living at large in the latter half of the twentieth century.
