The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Never complain and never explain.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Know or listen to those who know.
It's always too early to quit.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Who seeks shall find.
