Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

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

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

After a storm comes a calm.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

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