Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Only the educated are free.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The answer to old age is to keep one's mind busy and to go on with one's life as if it were interminable. I always admired Chekhov for building a new house when he was dying of tuberculosis.
