The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Well done is better than well said.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Never complain and never explain.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
I can, therefore I am.
I travel the world, and I'm happy to say that America is still the great melting pot - maybe a chunky stew rather than a melting pot at this point, but you know what I mean.
