Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Know or listen to those who know.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
All this happened, more or less. The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true.
