The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
After a storm comes a calm.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
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.
