The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Who seeks shall find.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I've just finished reading a book about the brilliant Margaret Rutherford. She wasn't a beauty, but inside she was absolutely blazing and passionate about her work. She's one of those life-affirming characters.
