I can, therefore I am.
Only the educated are free.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
You never know what motivates you.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
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.
