I can, therefore I am.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
After a storm comes a calm.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Always desire to learn something useful.
In those days, it didn't take much imagination to come up with something that required great lyric development skills. You just thought of an experience that you might have gone through, and write it down.
