Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
After a storm comes a calm.
Well done is better than well said.
Only the educated are free.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
I can, therefore I am.
