Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
I can, therefore I am.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
It's always too early to quit.
As in nature, as in art, so in grace it is rough treatment that gives souls, as well as stones, their luster.
