The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Only the educated are free.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Well done is better than well said.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
As my dad said, you have an obligation to leave the world better than how you found it. And he also reminded us to be givers in this life, and not takers.
