After a storm comes a calm.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Only the educated are free.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
What I learned growing up on the farm was a way of life that was centered on hard work, and on faith and on thrift. Those values have stuck with me my whole life.
