The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

After a storm comes a calm.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
