Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you think you can do it, you can.
I can, therefore I am.
It's always too early to quit.
Well done is better than well said.
I hate to play the I-live-in-the-country card, but it really takes all of the 'pack the kids into the car and run from here to there' out of the equation.
