After a storm comes a calm.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
You never know what motivates you.
Well done is better than well said.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
That song is a story that shows how easily you could get slipped into being labeled as the bad guy, even though what you really trying to do is tell the bad guy to leave you alone.
