Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
You never know what motivates you.
Who seeks shall find.
It's always too early to quit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Know or listen to those who know.
