I can, therefore I am.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Always desire to learn something useful.
You never know what motivates you.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
When a child, my dreams rode on your wishes, I was your son, high on your horse, My mind a top whipped by the lashes Of your rhetoric, windy of course.
Great poetry is always written by somebody straining to go beyond what he can do.
