The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you're going through hell, keep going.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
I can, therefore I am.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
