Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
You never know what motivates you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
When I was about 13 or 14, I had an English teacher who made a deal with me that I could get out of doing all of the year's regular work if I would write a short story a week and on Friday read it to the class.
