Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
After a storm comes a calm.
Who seeks shall find.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
That is a secondary teacher conception - the writer as an observer.
