The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Leap, and the net will appear.
It's always too early to quit.

John Ford was so funny that I couldn't wait to go to work in the morning.
