The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Well done is better than well said.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Never complain and never explain.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you think you can do it, you can.
