The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Leap, and the net will appear.
It's always too early to quit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
After a storm comes a calm.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
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.
