Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Who seeks shall find.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
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.
