If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
You never know what motivates you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen. But if you are beautiful at sixty, it will be your own soul's doing.
