Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.

After a storm comes a calm.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

The wise does at once what the fool does at last.

The dog that trots about finds a bone.

Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.

Well done is better than well said.

Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
