Always desire to learn something useful.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
After a storm comes a calm.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you think you can do it, you can.
