After a storm comes a calm.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Why not collect and clean chicken wishbones in the run-up to Christmas, spray them silver and use each to pinch together a white hem-stitch napkin?
