Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Well done is better than well said.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Wherever you are - be all there.
All you'd have to do is get a sad look, and he'd try to do something for you.
