If you're going through hell, keep going.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Never complain and never explain.
You never know what motivates you.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Only the educated are free.
Who seeks shall find.
I remember in high school trying to get home from water-polo practice in time so I could see Happy Days on television when it first came on, because I was so blown away by it. It was just such a cool thing.
