The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Who seeks shall find.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
I can, therefore I am.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
It's always too early to quit.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To this day I don't ever remember seeing a pet inside Moscow, I never saw anyone carrying a dog, or leading a dog. Err I finally saw a, a pet some years later in Kiev, so I thought that life must have been, different.
