Only the educated are free.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
I can, therefore I am.
Who seeks shall find.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Know or listen to those who know.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
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.
