Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After a storm comes a calm.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
It's always too early to quit.
I suppose I should say that I treasure blasphemy, as a faith of the highest order.
