Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Well done is better than well said.
After a storm comes a calm.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Always desire to learn something useful.
It's always too early to quit.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
I was sent to a finishing school, which didn't last long when mother found out how badly chaperoned we were. Then I 'came out' before going to a domestic science school.
