The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
After a storm comes a calm.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Never complain and never explain.
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.
